Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.

The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain.

I have lost my mental faculties but am perfectly well.

Good men must not obey the laws too well.

Every actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well.

Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.

The reward of a thing well done is having done it.

The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.
